Black Mountain vs. The Town of Jackson

Black Mountain is thriving like never before, having just experienced a record-breaking season for attendance, revenue, and longevity. This success is the result of incredible dedication and teamwork from our community, employees, shareholders, passholders, and guests, all united by a shared belief that Black Mountain was worth saving. The project has not only revitalized the mountain but also brought significant economic benefit and joy to our town. Restoring historic lifts, expanding snowmaking capabilities, and rebuilding our team have required immense financial investment, human capitol, hard work, and a belief that skiing and riding can be different and better. Black Mountain belongs to everyone, and the overwhelming support from residents, businesses, and visitors has been truly inspiring.

 

However, instead of collaboration, we have faced persistent resistance from the town government. The town selectboard has attempted to revoke our ability to serve alcohol at the Alpine Cabin without due process or discussion. This unprecedented and unlawful action forced us to file a federal lawsuit to protect our business and the future of Black Mountain. Our goal remains to unite the community, not divide it, and to protect what we have all built together. We welcome open dialogue and constructive feedback and will continue to fight for fairness, progress, and the celebration of the skiing culture we cherish. Our team remains committed, optimistic, and determined to ensure that Black Mountain continues to thrive for generations to come.
